The beauty of IOS

I get a thrill and a tingle when I read the initial description of the Integral Operating System (IOS).  It is wrapped up in the following paragraph:

"We will also be exploring what is perhaps the most important use of the Integral Map or Operating System. Because an IOS can be used to help index any activity—from art to dance to business to psychology to politics to ecology to spirituality—it allows each of those domains to talk to the others. Using IOS, business has the terminology with which to communicate fully with ecology, which can communicate with art, which can communicate with law, which can communicate with poetry and education and medicine and spirituality. In the history of humankind, this has never really happened before."

Western thought and society has been so compartmentalized since the Renaissance and Reformation that we no longer really function.  Spirituality is separate from business life, social life is separate from family life, etc.  And it is the same in the science disciplines.  It is exciting and encouraging to me that this false walls are starting to break down and cross talk is happening.  The IOS is just helping to formalize and accelerate the process.
